Were you ever terrified by one of your teachers? Readers of any age can identify with the plot of this very cute picture book. Many children are at first scared of a new person, especially a teacher. This amazing picture book beautifully illustrates the evaluation criteria of plot, especially for those who are easily scared of new people. In the beginning of the book our main character Bobby, is seemingly picked on constantly by his teacher, Ms. Kirby, who calls his Robert. One day when playing in the park Bobby runs into his teacher, still depicted as a monster. Readers will see how giving someone a chance will truly show their nature. First impressions are not always correct. Children will learn through this wonderful picture book how to give people a chance and that not everyone is as they seem at first glance.
